So after everyone warned me "DO NOT BUY CHEAP LIGHTS ON EBAY" I decided to buy cheap lights on ebay...

Six months later 2 ballast (out of 3) went out. Both at the same time.. That left me with two working T5's...

So I called the MARSH pawn shop (AKA DH) and begged, cried, and whined for some help with lighting.

After a trip to the pawn shop (AKA DH's store) I am the proud owner of two 250w MH lights and two retro T5 setups.

I can not believe the difference between MH and T5... I already have a chiller so heat will not be an issue.

I thought my tank looked good yesterday....... Today it looks GREAT..

Thanks Dennis!!!!

Well as for the MH vs T5 debate I don't think it's fair to compare some eBay fixture to what you have now. Looks like a really clean install, btw.
